Feng Yexuan was a complex man at times.
But at other times, he was actually quite pure.
For instance, when it came to relationships between men and women, once he decided on something, he truly meant it.
It wasn't about love, it was simply about his decision.
When he finally spoke those words, Chu Qianli, for a fleeting moment, truly wanted to believe him.
But she quickly collected her thoughts, forbidding herself from overthinking.
Whether she believed him or not, relying on a man to live was not the life she desired.
Feng Yexuan departed.
After changing her clothes, Chu Qianli, with Qian'er's assistance, went to the front courtyard to see him off.
It was the first time since her transmigration that she had personally witnessed Feng Yexuan donning his armor.
That set of silver armor, illuminated by the moonlight, gleamed with an intimidating cold light.
It exuded inherent majesty, sacred and inviolable.
He was indeed so handsome that one couldn't tear their gaze away.
No wonder the original Chu Qianli had fallen in love with him at first sight, just from a single glance.
However, a faint unease still lingered in her heart.
While he was undeniably powerful and invincible, Qin Xiao was in the hands of the enemy.
If those bandits were truly colluding with people in the court, then while open attacks were easy to defend against, hidden arrows were hard to guard against. Would he truly be in danger…
"Princess Consort, you don't need to worry. His Highness is peerlessly valiant, invincible in battle, and he will return victorious very soon."
Qian'er, seeing her gaze fixed on the departing procession with a somber expression, quickly tried to comfort her.
Chu Qianli withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "Which eye of yours saw me worrying?"
She turned and headed back towards the sleeping quarters.
Qian'er pouted her lips and muttered, "She's clearly very anxious and worried. The Princess Consort is just a stubborn person with a soft heart!"
"Oh, right, Princess Consort, His Highness ordered me to give you this!"
Qian'er hurried after her and presented a booklet to Chu Qianli with both hands.
Chu Qianli took it and her eyes immediately lit up.
The Marrow Cleansing Scripture.
Marrow, the primal energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the human body.
Strictly speaking, while this scripture wasn't exactly a martial arts cultivation technique, it was the most fundamental existence among all cultivation techniques.
As long as one mastered the content of this scripture, any future learning would yield twice the results with half the effort!
Chu Qianli received it as if it were a priceless treasure and immediately returned to her room, sitting down to cultivate.
She cultivated for an entire night.
Qian'er also stayed by her side all night.
By the next morning, Qian'er was exhausted, but to her surprise, Chu Qianli was full of vigor.
"This thing is truly amazing!" Chu Qianli continued to flip through it.
Qian'er was so frightened she almost lost her soul. "Princess Consort, your injuries haven't healed yet. You shouldn't overexert yourself."
"But I feel that after practicing the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, I feel refreshed, and my injuries even seem to have improved a lot."
The Marrow Cleansing Scripture was definitely a rare treasure!
In just one night, apart from the lingering ache in her shoulder blade, her entire body felt much more relaxed.
Chu Qianli closed her eyes, secretly sensing the warmth of her bracelet.
Although she still couldn't sense the Taobao system, she could now feel the items she had previously placed in the bracelet's space!
This was wonderful!
Chu Qianli opened her eyes, holding the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, her face filled with excitement.
Feng Yexuan had actually given her such a precious item!
That man… but as she thought of Feng Yexuan walking into a trap at this very moment.
Although he was indeed powerful, to the point of being awe-inspiring, she still felt a little uneasy.
She didn't know if he would truly be in danger.
"Princess Consort…"
"Qian'er, you don't need to attend to me for the next two days. I need to continue practicing."
She needed to heal her injuries quickly so she could go out.
She was truly too weak right now.
Qian'er reluctantly brought her some food and then could only continue to guard outside the door.
Chu Qianli practiced for another day. Although the system was still inaccessible, her injuries had improved significantly.
She had planned to continue cultivating, but who knew that on the night of the second day, she would receive terrifying news…
